October 12th 2015 New Moon in LibraA new moon occurs at 8:06PM ET at 19 degrees 20 minutes of Libra. In Libra, we want to commit ourselves to the people we care about and the projects we’re passionate about. We don’t want to waffle anymore, and know that committing ourselves will give us what we need. We feel good with loved ones, and enjoy getting some one-on-one attention. We can enter into new relationships and partnerships, and we do better with them than without them. This new moon is opposite transit (moving) Uranus in Aries, and we can rebel without reason, reject tradition with disdain, or avoid originality with fear. If you're a Libra Sun, Moon, or mid-Libra rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most.

October 27th 2015 Full Moon in TaurusA full moon occurs at 8:05AM ET at 3 degrees 44 minutes of Taurus. In Taurus, we’re too stubborn to deal with, and don’t want to move from our position. We take our time with everything, too long, and then don’t budge even when we know we’re wrong. We care too much about material things and money, and we can buy things we don’t need and spend ourselves into a mountain of debt. We care too much about what other people think about us, and we allow that to dictate how we feel about ourselves, so our confidence ebbs and flows. Don’t be at their mercy. They don’t deserve that. If you’re a Taurus Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.
